The drunkard asked me what was that?

I didn't think much of it, and replied with a palpitation: "Isn't it a ghost?" ”

He nodded and shook his head, "That's not just a ghost, we call that thing 'River Ghost Soldiers'." ”

"River ghost soldiers?"

I frowned, staring at the drunkard Qi very much, very suspicious of his words, and feeling in my heart that this guy was just making excuses.

But looking at his serious appearance, it doesn't look like he's lying.

"I've heard of water ghosts, but I haven't heard of any river ghost soldiers, you don't think I'm easy to deceive at a young age."

Qi drunkard said: "This river ghost soldier is different from the water ghost, it is said that as long as it is a ghost by the Yellow River, it belongs to it, and only the river god can control it, and it is often the person who commits a big taboo to attract this thing." There is also a saying that people do not die, ghosts are endless, which means that as long as the people they target are not dead, they will continue to come and go. ”

Noticing my skeptical gaze, he said again: "If you don't believe me, you can ask the old man Liu in the town, he is a corpse digger, and he also knows about this river ghost soldier." ”

Immediately, he thought of something again, looked at me and asked: "By the way, you baby, what kind of sacrificial corpse did you fish out, which can attract river ghost soldiers." I've been by the Yellow River for so many years, and I've done a lot of taboo things, but I haven't ever invited this thing. Also, how did you survive, those river ghost soldiers? ”

Although I didn't understand the severity, I wasn't stupid, and I still didn't say anything about the daughter-in-law of the mass grave.

snorted, perfunctory: "I don't know what's going on, those ghosts were just about to pounce on me, so they turned around and left." ”

"Strange..."

The drunkard Qi was also puzzled, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come up with a reason.

I was afraid that he would ask again, so I changed the topic and said, "Master Qi, the matter of the river ghost soldiers has passed in the past, let's not talk about it for now, maybe it will be okay if the corpse sacrifice is solved." ”

He glanced at me, still skeptical, but didn't ask again, but said: "Okay, what I did this time is really a little inauthentic, even if I owe you a little baby, if something happens in the future, I will definitely pay you back." ”

"Okay." I answered, and I didn't take it to heart.

After that, we left, not staying in the house any longer.

I followed the drunkard Qi and found a small hotel to live in, but I didn't have any money with me, and the drunkard Qi was also poor, so he only opened one room.

The two of them huddled together, coupled with the fact that he was a drunkard full of alcohol and smelled of foul odors, made it difficult to sleep.

I couldn't sleep, and it was really uncomfortable, so I woke up the drunkard Qi and chatted with him.

It's not that I'm bad, it's that I'm really depressed.

"Master Qi, you are so powerful, why haven't you heard of your name?"

"Master Qi, I heard that there is a bigger industry in your city, what kind of business are you doing?"

“......”

My question was big, but the drunkard didn't answer me.

I spent most of the night, and I didn't get anything useful out of the mouth of the drunkard. It wasn't until the second half of the night, when a wave of fatigue hit me, that I couldn't help it anymore and fell asleep on the bed.

The next day, I didn't wake up until almost noon.

And the drunkard Qi was no longer in the hotel, so he left me a note and asked me to wait for him at the hotel, and there were a few large steamed buns on the table.

I was indeed hungry, ate two buns, and went downstairs without staying in the hotel.

I asked the person at the front desk of the hotel, and he told me that the drunkard had left early in the morning.

I don't know where the drunkard has gone, but I think he probably won't say goodbye, maybe he went to do something, but he doesn't want me to know.

After walking around town and not knowing anyone, I had to go back to the hotel.

I thought that the drunkard would come back in the afternoon, but he came back in the middle of the night, and I was about to fall asleep at that time, and this guy slammed the door open, full of alcohol, and his mouth was still singing a small tune.

I got up from the bed, looked at him, and asked, "Master Qi, where have you been?" ”

He said, "Go out for a drink, feed the toad by the way, and tomorrow I will be able to solve the sacrificial corpse for you." ”

"Feed the toads?"

"You little hairy child, I don't understand what I tell you." He fell headlong on the bed, leaving no room for me, and the whole person fell asleep.

I was speechless for a while, and I was very tired in my heart, where is there any high-ranking person.

That night, I slept on my stomach.

The drunkard is also a strange person, drunk and sleeping, but waking up very early, he woke me up at dawn and took me outside to eat tofu brain.

After eating and drinking, he paid for a tricycle and carried us back to Nanling Village.

When I returned to the village, I felt a sense of intimacy that I had not felt for a long time, and beckoned the drunkard to return home.

"Grandma!"

Grandma heard my voice and ran out.

While I was talking to my grandmother, the drunkard stared at the corpse in front of my house.

It is a guest from afar, and we have a request for others.

Grandma entertained the drunkard very warmly and made him tea, but the drunkard didn't like tea, only wine, but unfortunately I didn't have wine at home.

Seeing his thoughts, my grandmother gave me money to go to my village commissary to buy two bottles of wine, and by the way, I invited Sun Blind to come over, saying that she would fry a few side dishes at noon and let the two of them have a sip.

I went to buy wine and my grandmother started cooking.

At noon, the food and drinks were all ready, and the four of us sat down at the table.

After a glass of wine, Sun Blind opened his mouth and asked with a smile: "Brother Qi, is the matter done?" ”

The drunkard nodded: "Okay, this sacrificial corpse can be solved tonight." ”

"It's worth a drink."

Another cup of belly.

Blind Sun asked again: "I don't know what method my brother used?" ”

The drunkard shook his head and said nothing.

At this time, I interjected and said, "Master Qi grabbed a three-legged toad from the eye of the Yellow River, saying that this thing can suppress the sacrificial corpse." ”

Hearing this, Sun Blind stood up from the table suddenly, his rolled eyes wide and round, very frightening.

"Three-legged toad?! Yellow River Treasure! Are you a treasurer!? ”

Treasure holder?

It's the first time I've heard that title.

Looking at the excited appearance of the blind man, it seems that this treasure holder is very amazing.

The drunkard Qi drank with a smile, and said indifferently: "What kind of treasure holder is not a treasure person, it is just a mixed meal, and the ancestors have passed it down, and there is no way to do this business." ”

"No wonder..."Sun Blind calmed down and sat down.

My grandmother and I looked at each other, and she didn't quite know what a treasure holder was.

"Who is this treasure holder?" Grandma asked.

The drunkard himself didn't say it, and Sun Blind said: "Sister-in-law, this treasure holder is a very special kind of person, they have special talents and inheritance, they have been different from ordinary people since childhood, and they can find the treasure between heaven and earth, the landscape is very mysterious, I have also heard people say, I didn't expect that there are treasure holders in our town." ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled and asked mysteriously: "Brother Qi, I heard that where the treasure holders are, there must be treasures, but I know that you are often in this town, isn't it that we have some heavenly and earthly treasures here." ”

The drunkard stretched out his finger, nodded at the blind man, and joked with a smile: "You are a blind man, the treasure is placed in front of you, and you can't see it, so you don't care about these idle things." ”

"Haha, yes."

"Then you don't want this baby to be a treasure suffocator with you, do you?"

"No, no, the treasure holder needs talent, and it needs to be cultivated from an early age, I have a successor, this little baby is special, but I can't look down on it yet."

“……”

This table of wine was drunk until two o'clock in the afternoon, and Sun Blind was also slightly drunk, and the drunkard Qi was drunk all day long, and he couldn't see anything.

In the evening, after a simple meal, we were ready to go and completely solve the sacrifice of corpses.

The drunkard took out the three-legged toad in the snakeskin bag, and strangely, this toad turned out to be different from the first time I saw it.

When I first saw it, it was only the size of a fist, and it was very disgusting.

Now it is a whole circle bigger, and the poisonous bumps on his body are no longer bleeding, and the whole body looks very smooth, as if it has been polished.

When grandma saw this, she couldn't help but exclaim: "It is said that three-legged toads are not easy to find, but I didn't expect there to be such a thing." ”

The blind man asked, "What is the purpose of this toad?" ”

At this time, the drunkard of Qi stopped selling Guanzi, and said: "The three-legged toad is a treasure in the river, as far as I know, it has only appeared in the Yellow River Valley. If eaten in a proper way, it can treat diseases, even stomach cancer. In addition, it is extremely sensitive to corpse qi, and feeding it with the corpse qi of three people who have just died can suppress evil for a hundred years. ”

We don't understand any of this, what the drunkard says.

Grandma said: "Whatever Master Qi says, we will do." ”

"Okay, let's find a place where few people go first, dig a pit, throw the sacrificial corpse in, and then I'll do it."

The drunkard carried the three-legged toad, leaned to his mouth, and kissed it, which made me sick.

"Hehe, little baby, today I will give you a kiss, and accompany this female corpse for a hundred years, and you will not be a toad."
